Santino Rice on ‘Clay Cane Live’: ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ Heidi Klum and No Labels

January 27th, 2012 by Clay Cane

Star of Project Runway and resident judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race was a guest on Clay Cane Live last night. Rice discussed his Lifetime show being canceled saying, “It was a little too gay for Lifetime. They’ll never say it.”

Why he isn’t on Project Runway All-Stars this year: “I choose to pass on it, I was asked and I can say I was begged to do it.”

Why he loves Heidi Klum, revealing she was the only Project Runway judge to talk to him off camera — saying Michael Kors and Nina Garcia “are kind of like up their — you-know-what. As far as talking to me and showing me any love after the fact.”

Mark your calendars — RuPaul’s Drag Race season four premieres this Monday at 9pm/8pm C. I’ve seen the first episode — and it does not disappoint!

Vivica Fox Interview at the LGBT Center

January 17th, 2012 by Clay Cane

Vivica Fox is a dream for a journalist. She is candid, fun, has a sense of humor and an impressive career. Back in March, I interviewed Ms. Fox at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center in Manhattan with a packed audience. Although she was set to go on stage hours before for her stage play Cheaper to Keep Her, the Set It Off diva made the engagement and gave me a memorable interview.

Who knew Rosie Perez was supposed to play her character in Set It Off?

Faye Dunaway was a diva, which is no shocker, on the set of The Starlet.

Plus, Viv gives us a peak into the trials of being a black actress in Hollywood and surviving.

After the interview, Vivica asked me for a hug and was incredibly gracious. In addition, she happily took pictures with all of the LGBT teens who bombarded her in the lobby. I’ve interviewed many people over the years, but Vivica Fox is one person I will always remember.

Check out the video below.

January 12th, 2012 by Clay Cane

Check my latest article on theGrio.com. Here is an excerpt, “Are the gay-powers-that-be forgetting Miss Lawrence‘s pterodactyl eyelashes? What about Derek J.’s masculine feet stuffed into the highest of heels every Sunday night on Bravo? Lest we forget Tyler — never mind! Atlanta is as gay as a YouTube parody of Beyoncé‘s ‘Single Ladies’ dance and that will never change. ”
